Civilization: Beyond Earth Revealed?

An article on Jeux PC that's since
been removed reveals plans for Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
that can still be found
in Google's cache of the French gaming site. A
translation shows this to be filled with details about the project, saying
that while it's not a direct sequel to Alpha Centauri, though parts of it will
draw on the classic space strategy game. The amount of detail in the article
(including a screenshots and box art) and the fact that it was removed suggest
an official announcement about this will probably roll out soon enough. Thanks
